Thread: block heater?

The remarkable thing to me is that Ford and the other manufactures accept these robberies as simply part of routine business practice. These shop salespeople (car salesman), people they hire to make them money, are narcissistic, pathological, parasites but they make these dealers lots of money. They will fire anybody who does less.

nope, bad connection to your PCM, its powered 2 ways, one by the large yellow 20 amp #9 fuse and by teh small yellow #22 fuse, both under the hood, first disconnect your fuel heater , then check both fuses adn if you have a chip, remove it. If it doesn't stall for a few days, replace the chip and run it, if good then plug the fuel heater back in. If nothign works , then I would guess corrosion on the CPS wiring, real ***** to find that...

Fuel bowl can be rotted out Fuel lid leaking Fuel heater plug joint leaking Fuel restriction sensor leaking Fuel Drain leaking Fuel Pressure Regulator to...
